Hamburg. Free City gold 2 Ducat 1779, with titles of Joseph II, KM450, Fr-1128, MS66 PCGS. Outstanding! Light frosted devices, here meticulously struck, contrast with prooflike fields near-devoid of marks. Traces of die-rust and die-wear confirm this as later die-state, although struck prior to any heavy die-polishing that may have been required for continued striking and would have left lines throughout the fields. A gorgeous specimen and rare thus.
Estimate: 6000-7000 USD
